Even after the war, she continued to demonstrate her presence in Shochiku films. From 1951, she entered into a priority contract with Daiei Studios and appeared in films produced by Daiei, Toho, and Shintoho, among others. In 1958, she became a freelance actress, and by 1963, she was affiliated with the First Religious Sect. She retired in 1973.
